Title: Handheld wireless communication device and holder
Inventor: INFANTI JAMES C
IPC: H04Q7/32
Filed: 2004-12-01
Abstract: A holder for a handless wireless communication device has triggering means at more than one location interacting with detecting means in the handheld wireless communication device for the handheld wireless communication device to detect whether or not it is present in the holder in any one of several possible orientations therein. The location of each of the triggering means corresponds to a different one of the possible orientations. In a more specific aspect of the invention, magnets are installed in the holder at more than one location, each location corresponding to a location sufficiently close to the detecting means, for example a proximity switch, in one of several orientations of the device in the holder. In a specific embodiment of the invention, the holder has outer and inner panels, and there is one magnet in the outer panel and one magnet in the inner panel, so that a proximity switch near a front or rear surface of the device will be sufficiently close to one of the magnets whether the device is inserted with its front surface facing out, or with its front surface facing in. An example of such a holder is a belt-clip holster.

Inventor: JOHNSON LISA M
IPC: B64F1/36
Filed: 2003-03-25
Abstract: An improved security checkpoint separates certain individuals into a secure, enclosed wanding station for additional security screening. The wanding station may be constructed using glass (or other strong, visually transparent substance) and metallic (such as aluminum or steel) posts so that people may be securely enclosed in the wanding station but still have a direct line of sight to personal items being screened at another location. The size of the wanding station may vary according to the needs of the checkpoint but preferably has room to screen three people simultaneously. The wanding station may include an entry area in which people form a queue, optimally of six people, for entering the wanding station. Two or more personal and item screening areas may share a wanding station to form a double lane module. The security module is configured so that most people pass straight through the checkpoint, and people leaving the wanding station can easily obtain their items without delaying others. The security module may further include a small item x-ray or other screening device positioned near the wanding station to expedite the screening within the wanding station.

Abstract: An alkanethiol, alkyl thioglycollate, dialkyl sulfide or dialkyl disulfide may be used to surface treat of an alloy of silver containing an amount of germanium that is effective to reduce firestain and/or tarnishing. The treatment has been found to further reduce tarnishing of the alloy such that a sample can be supported close above a 20% solution of ammonium polysulphide for at least 30 minutes while retaining a generally untarnished appearance.  The treatment may be carried out at the end of manufacturing a shaped article to give rise to an article that will preserve its untarnished appearance both during transit to a point of sale but during subsequent display for an extended period. The invention therefore also includes a method for manufacturing a tarnish-resistant silver article, which comprises the steps of forming a shaped article of an alloy of silver containing an amount of germanium that is effective to reduce firestain and/or tarnishing, surface treating the article with an alkanethiol, alkyl thioglycollate, dialkyl sulphide or dialkyl disulphide; and introducing the article into packaging.  Also disclosed for use in treating an alloy of silver as aforesaid is a water-based composition comprising a treatment agent selected from an alkanethiol, alkyl thioglycollate, dialkyl sulfide or dialkyl disulfide and a mixture of an anionic surfactant and an amphoteric or nonionic surfactant in a concentration that is effective to solubilise the treatment agent.

Abstract: The holder of containers containing viscous matters can be designed in two basic embodiments: with solid or hollow body, in both cases to serve as holder of containers kept upside down. Such holders enable multiple use of containers containing viscous liquids. At the upper side of the holder (1 and 1') there is the narrow opening (2 and 2'), adjusted to the shape of the container neck, into which opening there is inserted the neck (11) of the container (10). The holder (1) is placed by its bottom (4) to the base (12), holding the container upright by its wide lower side and weight. The holder (1') has at its bottom side the wide opening (5) and the fitting (7) to which there is fitted the pneumatic sucker that enables, by vacuum, additional fixing of the holder against the base. Before the first use of its content, the container is kept upright, its neck up. A narrow-neck container, kept upside down, can be inserted and taken from the holder many times, with no risk of the content to solidify and clog the container neck.
